| You got a fast car | |
| I want a ticket to anywhere | |
| Maybe we make a deal | |
| Maybe together we can get somewhere | |
| Anyplace is better | |
| Starting from zero got nothing to lose | |
| Maybe we'll make something | |
| But me myself | |
| I got nothing to prove | |
| You got a fast car | |
| And I got a plan to get us out of here | |
| I been working at | |
| East side`s health and childrens centre | |
| Managed to save just a little bit of money | |
| We won't have to drive too far | |
| Just across the border and into the city | |
| You and I can both get jobs | |
| And finally see what it means to be living | |
| You see my old man's got a problem | |
| He live with prescription drugs and that's the way it is | |
| He says his body's too old for working | |
| I say his body's too young to look like his | |
| My mama went off and left him | |
| She wanted more from life than he could give | |
| I said somebody's got to take care of him | |
| So I quit life and that's what | |
| I did You got a fast car | |
| But is it fast enough so we can fly away | |
| We gotta make a decision | |
| We leave tonight or live and die this way remember we were driving driving in your car speed so fast | |
| I felt like | |
| I was drunk | |
| City lights lay out before us | |
| And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder | |
| I had a feeling that | |
| I belonged | |
| I had feeling | |
| I could be someone, be someone, be someone | |
| You got a fast car | |
| And we go cruising to entertain ourselves | |
| You still dont have a job | |
| And I work in a market as a checkout girl | |
| I know things will get better | |
| You'll find work and | |
| I'll get promoted | |
| We'll move out of the shelter | |
| Buy a big house and live in the suburbs remember we were driving driving in your car speed so fast | |
| I felt like | |
| I was drunk | |
| City lights lay out before us | |
| And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder | |
| I had a feeling that | |
| I belonged | |
| I had feeling | |
| I could be someone, be someone, be someone | |
| You got a fast car | |
| And I got a job that pays all our bills | |
| You stay out drinking late at the bar | |
| See more of your friends than you do your kids | |
| I'd always hoped for better | |
| Thought maybe together you and me would find it | |
| I got no plans | |
| I ain't going nowhere | |
| So take your fast car and keep on driving remember we were driving driving in your car speed so fast | |
| I felt like | |
| I was drunk | |
| City lights lay out before us | |
| And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder | |
| I had a feeling that | |
| I belonged | |
| I had feeling | |
| I could be someone, be someone, be someone | |
| You got a fast car | |
| But is it fast enough so we can fly away | |
| We gotta make a decision | |
| We leave tonight or live and die this way |
